In 1804 when W. B. Stevenson (fl. 1803 1825) arrived on the small
island of Mocha, just off the coast of South America, he stepped
onto a continent on the brink of mass revolution. Over the next
twenty years, he had an extraordinary range of experiences: as a
traveller, a Spanish government official, a prisoner, and as
secretary to an ex-Royal Navy admiral turned revolutionary. In this
three-volume work, published in 1825, Stevenson gives a dramatic,
fascinating account of life and society in South America as it
began to break free from Spanish colonial rule. Volume 3 focuses on
the revolutions and uprisings Stevenson witnessed in Colombia, Peru
and Chile, as well as his time as secretary to Lord Cochrane, the
former admiral who fought on the side of the rebels.
